Advice needed– Avid Native Support and other things
Need some advice on which cameras and which HD acquisition formats work natively with Avid (i.e. you don’t need to transcode, re-wrap, or render the footage (once it’s on the timeline)). I’ve personally only used AVCHD and that codec is not very edit-friendly. Our business needs something that we can edit with fast, and not much render time. We are looking at a $5,000 budget for each camera. going to be getting two cameras. we are leaning more towards file-based formats. We are also considering LTO drives for the Mac. Any advice on that would be helpful as well.
Things are gettin’ interesting…

P2. AVCIntra and DVCPRO HD are MXF files and work with no transcoding needed.
